New information released on Wednesday shows the state attorney held off arresting Zimmerman, the volunteer neighborhood watchman who shot and killed Florida teen Trayvon Martin.

Governor Rick Scott is asking for patience and a thorough investigation of the case, as well as the immediate review of Florida's Stand Your Ground law.

"Let's get through this and find out what happened here and [wait until] justice prevails," said Scott. "Then, we will have this task force."

Many news outlets are reporting information they attribute to the Sanford police detective heading the case.

ABC News said that lead investigator Chris Serino said he "disbelieved" Zimmerman's testimony and recommended in an affidavit that he be arrested for manslaughter.

State Attorney Norm Wolfinger "held off pending further review" Zimmerman's arrest, according to the Miami Herald.

On March 12, police gave the case to Wolfinger, and he told the Sanford police they needed more evidence to arrest Zimmerman, said CBS News.

Another question is: "What is special persecutor Angela Corey working on right now?"

Her office said "clothing and other physical evidence from the scene and from Mr. Zimmerman and Mr. Martin are being processed by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement."

"We are meeting on the case, and we have already begun interviewing witnesses so we can move quickly forward," said Corey's office.

Corey's office is now the only one providing the public with information on the case after the city of Sanford announced on Wednesday it was no longer holding daily briefings.

The Tampa Bay Times reported today that Corey hopes she can make a decision without a grand jury.

WESH 2 News has learned more about the personnel history of the new acting police chief Darren Scott.

According to discipline records, he was suspended for 36 hours without pay for using offensive language during a police call in 1989, but since then he has had an exemplary record with numerous commendations.
